The Dark Side of Porn

The Dark Side of Porn

Not one to want to be a Debbie Downer or to say that I don’t like porn-no quite the opposite here. But there is a very dark side of this industry few talk about. Take the industry’s first “power bottom” Joey Stefano for example who died from a drug over dose (an addiction that escalated after testing HIV positive).

But after searching the web and trying to find our “Blast from the Past ” model/porn star of the week(where we highlight one of the famous porn stars from the past) one thing kind of stood out. It’s not all hot sex and rock & roll for many in this industry once their so called career fades.

Yes sadly for some once their six pack is gone and a fit body of their 20’s or 30’s is now a thing of the past life takes a turn for reality. Some see the bigger picture and either save money or go to school but to few do. Drug abuse and or depression seems to be high problems of an adult film actor-kind of the ugly side of Hollywood.

The topic of HIV and Aids was also a problem especially for those that were in the industry in the late 1970’s and even till the early 1990’s. Sadly there were some that either lost their lives from this disease as no one could have ever imagined what was in store as it surfaced it’s ugly head in the early to mid 1980’s. And then drug over doses seem to also be a problem as many have died from this.
